In American political philosophy, a highly contested topic is whether or not the United States government is adhering to the principles set forth by the Founding Fathers. While James Madison has appropriately been given ...

In this work the newly developed spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of soluble Mn(II), Mn(III) and total Mn species via a metal substitution reaction (Madison et. al. 2011) was applied in different ...

In this thesis, a procedure for analyzing large-scale side-scan sonar projects was developed. Side-scan sonar is a geophysical acoustic tool that can be used to image morphological features, grain-size distributions, ...

Moneyball (2003), written by Michael Lewis, is about the Oakland Athletics’ path to success in the early 2000’s focusing on the 2002 season. This senior thesis investigates the impact of Moneyball. Namely, the hypothesis ...

The purpose of this research study was to investigate the effect of a music and
movement integrated mathematics curriculum on second grade students’ emotional,
behavioral, and cognitive engagement with learning. A ...

Nanomedicine refers to the application of nanotechnology to medicine and includes such applications as targeted drug delivery, cell repair, and new anti-microbial, therapy, and imaging techniques. Clinical trials involving ...

Evaporation is a major cause of thinning of tear film which can eventually cause damage to ocular surface. The aim of the presented research was to analyze some of the many facets of evaporation of the aqueous layer of the ...

Introduction
The mechanical properties of the brain, as imaged by magnetic resonance elastography (A. Manduca, 2001), have emerged as sensitive measures of neural tissue structure. Studies of the adult brain have revealed ...

Mechanistic studies of the silyl-Heck reaction were performed. The precatalyst for the reaction was characterized by NMR and X-ray crystallography. NMR experiments were conducted to determine the viability of oxidative ...

Myotonic dystrophy type I is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. The
disease arises from an expansion of a trinucleotide repeat, (CTG)n located in the 3’
untranslated (3’ UTR) region of the dystrophica myotonin protein ...

A range of enones were found to participate in 1,4 conjugate addition with
deprotonated 2-methylpyridines. Likewise, a transient 2,6 – lutidine anion was found
to open 2-butyl-1-tosylaziridine at the less hindered end ...

Mexican immigration to the United States is a controversial issue in today‟s political realm. Though it is the longest running labor movement in history, many Americans are under the impression that this is a current issue. ...

Previous studies using rat models have looked at microglial activation
following alcohol exposure in the adolescent and adult brains, or the long-term effects of neonatal alcohol exposure. This current study fills in a ...

Mathematical models that connect the tear lm with the underlying epithelia of the
cornea and conjunctiva were developed. The tear lm is assumed to be a spatially uniform
evaporating aqueous layer with a concentration ...

In 1998, Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko published what would become one
of his most popular Russian fantasy novels, Night Watch, which later resulted in a
movie franchise, a video game based on the novel, and translations ...

Recent studies have shown that traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause disruptions in cognitive processing and emotion regulation for weeks or longer after the initial accident. Most of this work has focused on severe ...

Infectious laryngotracheitis virus is an alphaherpesvirus responsible for causing a respiratory disease of chickens. The goal of this project is to sequence a novel field isolate of ILTV, UD2011K, using DNA isolated from ...
